Same thing here - winds have been straight-line since last night steady over 30 mph. We've had extended periods with the wind steady over 50 mph. Sounds like a train going by when it comes from just the right direction. Really glad I installed the 'optional' support wires on my vertical ham antenna. Temp will go from high of 38F to single digits tonight. Can't wait for spring. This is starting to wear me out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where did you stay along the St. Lawrence ? We stayed at Merry Knoll Campground, New York 12E, Clayton, NY and McLaren Campground, 15020 Long Sault Pkwy, Ingleside, ON K0C 1M0, Canada. Both are nice. Merry Knoll was on a slope but the sites were level. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted February 25, 2019 Byron, little early to be there now! Not to mention cold, deep snow... Richard, where you live, is not a place that a sane man would spend winter! Ugh.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richard5933 Report post Posted February 25, 2019 At least we didn't have the blizzard that rolled through the more northern parts of Wisconsin this weekend, complete with 100+ car pile up which shut down the Interstate. Many injured and I believe at least one death. What they got makes our weather seem downright mild. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

obedb Report post Posted February 26, 2019 Joe/ 60 mph gusts/ 30 or so constant. We are surrounded by tall trees which amplify the sound. Would have bet that we would lose power. We didn't. Our circuit comes from a rural connection. The houses near us were built on a corn field. Underground power from the town. MET ED has a robot that answers when reporting an outage. Always recognizes us because of Caller ID. Robot is programmed to tell us You are last!! 😎 Several times we were over 5 days getting our power back. Bill/ did you visit the boat museum in Clayton? Worth every penny. Got a kick out of the building across the street displaying hydroplane racing boats. Many had V-12 water cooled engines from WW II Carl/ have stayed in this area several times over the years. The Clayton/Alexandria Bay Area on the St. Lawrence is well worth the time.

manholt Report post Posted February 28, 2019 Byron...If not water cooled, did you think air? Did it say WWII ? Or you assuming so? Some Hydro boat's run Lamborghini V-12's! I ran a Blue Water Race boat, with twin 502's, produced 648 hp each! Also a Cat with twin 1,000 hp's! Both was water cooled... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best barbecue I ever had, pork and beef. (Drooling)Definitely had the feed bag on. And actually the 2nd best was in Germany, go figure. The wild boar and elk there is excellent.

These people build a fire in a hole, it burns for two days before the whole beef that has been cleaned of course, wrapped in palm leaves covered with foil then the fire is kept burning on top of all that for 24 more hours. Results are very tasty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wayne77590 Report post Posted March 1, 2019 We have so many good restaurants around here I could not list them all as we'd run out of space. Just about anything you would want. BBQ places galore and all good. Get out of the cabin and head south. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thought I would add to the list of realey good BBQ. These guys have won nearly all the BBQ cook offs in the world. This place started as their "test kitchen" It is still only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday, till the meat is gone. http://bbqnorthmain.com/ Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildebill308 Report post Posted March 1, 2019 Here is anouther BBQ place that should be on your bucket list, Angelo's BBQ. They are known for more than just the bbq. They have large frozen mugs of beer. At one time they were the largest retailer of Budweiser in Tarrant Co. https://angelosbbq.com/About Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dbenoit Report post Posted March 1, 2019 I already have TX on my list. I can always find CG's going from one BBQ to the other. I always wanted to go back and visit the Armadillo Club in Austin and the Crazy Horse Saloon in Kileen but they are long gone now. I also like catfish, yummy. I better get a map and start pinning.
